An Optimality Theory Account of the Non-concatenative Morphology of the Nominal System of Libyan Arabic, with Special Reference to the Broken Plural [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This work presents a full and unified investigation of the phenomenon of non-concatenative nominal morphology in Libyan Arabic (LA), with special reference to the formation of the broken plural (BP). The analysis provides a morphophonological account of

An autosegmental approach to phonological phenomena in Shilluk. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Shilluk is a Western Nilotic language spoken in southern Sudan. Previous works on this language have failed to adequately capture the phonological and morphological systems of the language. An Autosegmental approach employed within a framework based upon the tenets of Lexical Phonology, allows the various aspects of Shilluk phonology to be separated in

Debucalization And Autosegmental Phonology

open access: yes, 2015
This paper investigates issues that are related to Debucalization and the Phonological Theory. In order to make this investigation viable, different dialects were analyzed to justify the process relevance over languages in general and to describe phonetic motivations that make the appearance of laryngeal segment possible [h].

Modelling autosegmental phonology with multi-tape finite state transducers

open access: yes, 1992
Phonology may be briefly defined as the study of sound patterns in spoken language. One of the most well-known computational models of phonology, Koskenniemi's two-level phonology, is based on an underlying linguistic theory that has been superseded
